And Rick Nash could be the MVP of the World Championship of hockey. Weird. If it happens, they'll have to fight to the death. I mean, in a perfect world they would, anyway. It would be Pay-per-view. 3-1 odds on Rick.

If not him then Tim Duncan (Virgin Islands). Yes, the Tim Duncan who plays for the U.S. National Team at the Olympics.....convenient, that. Erm, except for the ass-kicking they took. That is cool for Nash. They are already playing it up in Canada big-time, though I guess that's the point. Drive the audience ratings for Sunday afternoon.

P.S. Fuck Bush

But you do know Nash was actually born in South Africa? Right. In Canada, birthplace is irrelevant. I know more proud Canadians born outside of Canada than I know Canadians born in Canada. This is good. May is when I expect a number of Canadian athletes to shine and... well, that's been mostly not possible this year (FUCKING NHL/NHLPA), so this comes as a welcome surprise. Too bad the Raptors still suck.

In Canada, birthplace is irrelevant. I know more proud Canadians born outside of Canada than I know Canadians born in Canada. Unless you do something REALLY bad. It's amazing how quickly the press turned "Canadian" Ben Johnson into "Jamaican-born, moved to Canada" Ben Johnson after the positive drug test...

bcb2k2, you are misquoting le Batard. He just asked the question if race had anything to do with it. He said that players like Nash (small, no-defense) don't usually win MVPs, which is the only reason why he was asking. He also said he understood why people voted for Nash though he (writer for Miami Herald) would not have.
